## Description

The Mechanix Wear Original Tactical Gloves redefine durability and dexterity for those who demand high-performance work gloves. Built to be impact and abrasion resistant, these durable multi-purpose work gloves are engineered to keep you protected while maintaining maximum dexterity. Featuring a CoolPlus woven-mesh back, these tactical gloves prevent heat buildup, ensuring comfort in demanding environments. The ergonomic design and Freedom-Flex stitched cuff eliminates material bunching, promoting full freedom of movement for enhanced comfort and unrestricted tool or machine operation. For enhanced grip and durability, the Welded Lock Ring thumb panel reinforces high-wear areas, reducing vulnerable stitching. The touchscreen-capable 0.8mm synthetic leather palm allows for seamless access to devices while maintaining superior control and protection. With vented palm heel padding, these heavy-duty grip gloves absorb vibrations and light strikes to reduce hand fatigue. Designed for construction, tactical sports, and industrial applications, these professional grip gloves feature welded synthetic leather finger coverings that improve flexibility and comfort while preventing abrasions. Plus, they are machine washable for easy maintenance. A lightweight TPR hook and loop closure ensures a secure, form-fitting grip, making these anti-slip grip gloves ideal for precision tasks. Whether you're looking for high-performance safety gloves for work, tactical grip gloves for shooting sports, or multipurpose gloves for projects around the house, the Mechanix Wear Original Tactial Glove is a durable, comfortable essential for any hard worker. At Mechanix Wear, we are building a world where safety is foundational, performance is enhanced, and trust in our brand is unshakable. We use innovative design and advanced materials to create work wear built to last.

Review: Very Durable! - These gloves fit great and provide excellent grip, protection, and dexterity. They're comfortable enough for extended wear while still being tough enough for work, outdoor activities, range use, and general tasks. The materials feel durable, the stitching is solid, and they allow for precise hand movements without feeling bulky. Excellent quality and performance at a great price.
Review: I prefer these (SOF Operator) - There is a strong debate in my field around whether these are superior to the Oakley gloves. I'm an SF (Army, not Air Force) operator, and you can find my comparison between these and the Oakley gloves (bought from the SI website at www.standardissue.com) below. In the end, it all comes down to shooter's preference. My preferences and my I prefer them are found below. A little about me: I'm an SF (Army, not Air Force) medic with eight years' team time and almost four years of deployed time, 31 months of which have been in Afghanistan, the rest of which have been in South America. Tactile Feedback: This is a huge consideration for me. I like being able to feel, as accurately as possible, what is going on under my gloves (think handling an M-9 with gloves vs bare hands). This is a draw. The Mechanix gloves have a similar but less pronounced palm feel and response to the Oakleys. You can just feel minor details better with the Oakleys. You can wrap a piece of coarse (100-200 grit) sandpaper around a cylindrical object and rub the gloves against it to increase the tactile feedback to improve the tactile feedback of the Mechanix gloves (recommended) to that of the Oakleys. This will significantly reduce the life of both sets of gloves, however if you do it to the Mechanix gloves to the point that there is a similar feel between these and (new) Oakleys you will only reduce these to the effective lifetime of a fresh pair of Oakleys. The Oakleys come with additional padding under the fingertips on the index and middle finger along with some (I think) useless dots that are meant to increase grip. I find this Oakley feature to be superfluous and I cut this part of the glove off. *Caveat - I DO take my gloves off any time I perform medic duties. Neither glove, sanded down or not, allows me to accurately assess a casualty as well as I can with bare hands or with latex gloves. Protection: The Oakleys win here. The Oakleys have knuckle protection; these do not. There exists a version of Mechanix gloves with knuckle protection, however, those come with a double layer on the palm that reduces tactile feedback. As far as protection goes, the Mechanix with the additional padding on the knuckles have more protection, but you sacrifice tactile feedback to get the protection. The beefed up Mechanix gloves have extra layers in the palmar area which significantly reduces tactile feedback. The problem is that the knuckle protection on the beefed-up Mechanix is soft whereas the knuckle protection on the Oakleys is hard, and when I say hard it's like brass knuckle hard. I have literally had to punch people in the face to protect myself and my teammates; the Oakleys with their "brass knuckle" effect easily win the battle against the Mechanix's knuckle protection. This brass knuckle feature isn't strictly necessary (in my experience) as I could have simply punched them in the face again, and again, if necessary. Durability: Mechanix win. These Mechanix gloves have a slightly thicker palm and underside of the finger area. The Oakleys have a better "out of the box feel", but only by a slight bit; the Mechanix gloves break in quickly to the same feel as the Oakley gloves (especially if you use a pipe lined with sandpaper) and they have almost twice the life (in my experience) as the Oakley gloves. Other Factors: This is where Mechanix win by a long shot. The Oakley gloves have a tendency to, when subjected to repeated wear in hot environments where your hands sweat profusely, stiffen up after wear which reduces the tactile feedback received through the glove. This stiffening isn't relieved the next time you wear them until several hours have gone by and gets worse the more sweat you pour into them. The Mechanix gloves do not suffer this malady, and they somehow retain their feel despite months of hard use. The Mechanix gloves also (to me) fit better and more consistently; the Mechanix gloves seem to have a more elastic back of the hand area and a palmar area that doesn't constrict after it has been sweated into which hugely improves the overall comfort and usefulness of the glove over time. It also seems like the quality of construction is better as I have had multiple pairs of Oakley gloves that had stitching that was off (especially in the thumb and the inside of the index finger) which caused me to render those gloves unserviceable. This inconsistency alone is enough for me to choose the Mechanix gloves without going into the price difference which is significant. TL;DR: I prefer the Mechanix gloves because they are cheaper, better made, more durable, comparable in regards to tactile feedback, and, unless I'm punching through brick walls, don't offer a whole lot of improved protection; that being said, I would strongly prefer a version with hard knuckle protection.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are these bulletproof? Will they block 7.62×39mm and 5.56×45mm nato rounds?**
A: Mine stopped a 20mm round fired at me from an A10.
The dexterity was exceptional. So good in fact, it helped me to pick up my entrenching tool which I hurled at the plane literally knocking it out of the sky.
Oh, they also protect your hand from heavy objects. An Abrams tank ran over mine and except for a little pressure I didn’t feel a thing.
They can also withstand a bite from a 18’ Great White. 
Seriously, some of these questions are ridiculous. Stop eating Tide Pods you bunch of morons....

**Q: HOW DO I FIND OUT MY HAND SIZE?**
A: I tried the hand size chart, and it tells me "Large", except I have trouble fitting into a 2X (XXL) glove. Take it with a grain of salt, and go find a store, try on various maker's sizes to actually find your size.

**Q: Would the 2X-small fit a 13 year old**
A: There really is no right answer for this. I've seen a 13 yr old that was 6'2" & 240lbs who used size XL gloves. I'm 18 yrs old 5'8" & 140lbs and I usesize small.

**Q: Please, what is difference between XX-LARGE and 2X-Large? I need size 12" (28cm-30cm) and what do you think that is the right size?**
A: Hi, Since I am not a seller, don't know why you are asking me about the size but here is a link that might helps you to find right size for you.http://www.mechanix.com/mech_download/76cd7a04f05ed8bd88e173cb0379ea9eIf the link does not work, please visit www.mechanix.com and see the bottom of the page.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Gloves
*by A***R on August 29, 2026*

Seems like time to bring back the originals, was not too late for me! I think these gloves are great for shooting, fit well and my last pair lasted about 8 years with reasonably heavy use. I tried the thinner pair and literally hated them.
